Bently Nevada 330196-05-30-10-00 Proximity Probe – 3300 XL 8mm Eddy Current Sensor System
When a proximity probe fails on a critical rotating machine — a steam turbine, compressor, or pump — the consequences are immediate and severe. Without accurate shaft vibration and position data, the machinery protection system loses its eyes. Operators are forced to shut down production lines, risk catastrophic bearing failures, or run blind without knowing whether the rotor is approaching dangerous displacement thresholds. Unplanned downtime in heavy industry can cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour. The Bently Nevada 330196-05-30-10-00 proximity probe is the precision sensing element that prevents this scenario — delivering continuous, real-time eddy current measurements that keep your machinery protection system fully operational.
The 330196-05-30-10-00 is an 8mm eddy current proximity probe within Bently Nevada’s industry-leading 3300 XL Series — the global standard for machinery protection in turbomachinery and rotating equipment. With a 5-meter (30-inch) integral cable, a 10mm linear range, and a standard -18V DC bias output, this probe is engineered for direct integration into 3300 XL proximitor/seismic systems. Bently Nevada (a Baker Hughes company) holds the dominant position in the global turbomachinery monitoring market, and the 3300 XL system is installed in thousands of power plants, petrochemical facilities, and industrial plants worldwide. This specific part number represents a precisely configured probe assembly that cannot be substituted with generic sensors without compromising system calibration and API 670 compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the 330196 and 330105 probe series?
A: The 330196 series uses an 8mm probe tip diameter and is designed for the 3300 XL system with specific sensitivity and linear range characteristics. The 330105 series is an older 5mm probe family. They are not interchangeable without system reconfiguration.
Q: Can I use this probe with a Bently Nevada 3500 monitor rack?
A: Yes. The 3300 XL probe system (probe + proximitor + extension cable) is compatible with the 3500 Series monitor rack when using the appropriate 3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor module.
Q: What does each segment of the part number 330196-05-30-10-00 mean?
A: 330196 = 8mm probe model; 05 = 5-meter integral cable; 30 = 30-inch extension cable; 10 = 10mm linear range; 00 = standard configuration (no special options).
